Answer:
g(1) = -65; g(n) = g(n-1) -15
Step-by-step explanation:
Using n = 1, 2, 3, we can find the first three terms of the sequence:
g(1) = -50 -15 = -65
g(2) = -50 -15(2) = -80
g(3) = -50 -15(3) = -95
The first term of the arithmetic sequence is -65, so that is g(1). Each next term is 15 less than the one before, so the recursive formula is ...
g(n) = g(n-1) -15
The complete recursive function definition requires both parts:
g(1) = -65
g(n) = g(n-1) -15
